SOUL MIRRORS...

 

 

I wish I just, for a few minutes I could look into these eyes again.

 

My son was a very busy businessman, every day he had to plan ahead and deal with unforeseen emergencies.

The phone his main tool.

I joined him in Amsterdam after my commissioned photography was done and sat there, across from him for nearly 2 hours.

I enjoyed watching him, reminiscing, looking at that man, remembering the boy, the ups and downs, the joy and laughter, the tears...

 

He sensed my reflective mood, being the sensitive guy that he is, asked if I was fine, yes, well nearly done, just a few more calls, some materials to order and I'm done...

That's when I took this shot, he looked in my direction, busy but aware of me.

 

For years I have been working on a project, mostly for a book, but it also became, at some stage, a wall of fame in a city...

Eyes are our soul mirrors in my view.

 

This was one of the earlier ones I did, for people to 'guess', recognise, you could ONLY see part of the face, mostly the eyes, the rest was different for different people, mostly something to do with their line of work...

The original trial was done in the studio, on the technical camera (first on Polaroids)4x5" and then developed from negative and printed in the 'wet' darkroom.

 

As a photographer, your main tools are:

 

- you, as a person with a creative mind.

- your eyes, using the visual literacy.

- your camera, keep it in shipshape, handle it with the care and respect it deserves (even as a pro!!!).

- the technical and practical knowledge you have acquired over the years!

 

THANK for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated, M, (*_*)
